And with City Lights, you get more than just dark syntax highlighting. There’s actually an entire library of free assets you can use to customize your IDE. These can include custom icons and even full GUI themes for the entire interface.

Atom offers a lot more control over the UI so there’s more to do with that program. In fact, City Lights offers a pack of 60 unique icons you can add to Atom for a more visual workflow.

With Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code you’ll only get the City Lights syntax highlighter. But it’s one of the better themes I’ve seen for coding and it’s perfect for web developers of all backgrounds.

Have a look at the VSC repo for more info. You can also pull this directly from the terminal if you’d like to download a copy straight to your computer.
